Just to give you the feeling, how Polish pilots are trained
and how they fly, here a nice example.


An ex-military pilot flying in this case a SAR mission wit PA34,
delivering a heart for transplantation to an airfield in small town.
GPS approach, at 5:20 missed the runway, close over tree tops,
eventually landed by second approach.

BUT: it was SAR, life saving flight, just pilot and nurse on board.
Pilot well acquainted with the airfield.
Mission accomplished.

If you try the same in Tu-154 with 100 on board,
in unknown terrain and airfield, this is another story...
